Key mechanics

1. Memory fragments

   • After major choices (e.g., betray a character, abandon someone, or fail a timed event), the game silently records an Echo.
   • Echoes are short text logs like:

     “Day 3 – You left Lorna by the broken pier. She whispered ‘I trusted you.’”

2. Regret Compass (UI tool)

   • A compass overlay that drifts toward map locations where unresolved Echoes remain.
   • If you ignore an Echo for too long, the compass needle becomes erratic, and ambient sounds change (whispers, distant crying, twigs snapping).

3. Interacting with an Echo

   • When you revisit the spot, you get a Regret Action Menu:
     • Confront – triggers a flashback scene where you can attempt to “redo” the choice but with consequences (e.g., lose resources, gain trauma debuff, unlock hidden dialogue).
     • Burn – erase the Echo permanently, but lose a small amount of Sanity/Willpower.
     • Weaponize – turn the regret into a one-time buff for intimidation or persuasion checks (dark path).

4. Stacking regret effects

   • Accumulating too many unaddressed Echoes causes a “Regret Overload” state:
     • Hallucinations (fake NPCs, wrong item labels)
     • Skill checks become harder
     • Unique “Guilt” ending paths unlock
